Via Free Beacon:
Florida Democratic National Committee member John Parker is facing calls to resign from African-American activists and other party members, including his own wife, after he referred to blacks as “colored people.”
Parker, a Florida state committeeman, told Politico that he simply mangled the phrase “people of color” and didn’t mean to say “colored people” at a January party meeting at the Burrito Gallery in Jacksonville.
But not everybody believes that explanation, and some argue it wasn’t an isolated incident.
Diallo-Sekou Seabrooks, who attended the meeting, said Parker “freely used” the phrase “colored people” and that he expressed concern Jacksonville would become more like Atlanta, a city with a majority-black government, First Coast News reports.
